B.J. Upton vs Adam Dunn. It's going to be a great battle this year...

Bruce at least has a .700 OPS and 21 RBI. Bad year thus far, but not on their level.

Josh Hamilton is the most realistic "4th option" here.

oh I thought you were going straight K's. was gonna say Upton isn't even the team leader in K's with Uggla.

A few observations:

Harper just missed 2 games with a injured left toe.
That didn't look very pleasant for his right toe.
Hard to not laugh at the hair after the hat comes off.

Yes, that's why he ran into it.

Click link. Watch gif. And if you're part of the OC's contingent of Reds and/or Pirates fans, mourn the fact our teams don't have these guys in the division to beat up on all year long.
Detroit I think is hitting .400 against them this year

Clayton Kershaw has the lowest ERA for starting pitchers with 1,000 innings pitched since 1920 (live ball era). Jesus he is good.

The league is hitting .299 off them. They're last in basically all categories.

Dunnasaurus trying to avoid becoming extinct is heating up this series. Game 1 he was robbed of a hr to dead center...game 2 had a HR and ump robbed him of a single....today 3/4 with 2 deep LCF Hr and a oppo double. His average is now out of the negative.

Now he can go 1-34.

Fernando Rodney with 4 walks and an awful blown save tonight in Tampa.

Walk, walk, walk, double, walk. Not a proud outing...

No good thread to put this on but holy shit Indiana's pitcher against Ohio State is tall. Dude has to be almost 7 feet.

Our rival in high school Wellston had a 6'11 lefty....but only threw mid 70's. when I pitched against him (me being on the mound) he was at the plate and still taller than me. Not sure he could even dunk.
